Reno Omokri has described the arrest of Yoruba nation activist, Sunday Igboho, as unfortunate. Igboho who was declared wanted by the DSS three weeks ago, has been arrested in Cotonou and would be repatriated to Nigeria today Tuesday, July 20.

In a post shared on his Instagram page, Reno said Igboho was a freedom fighter who was defending his people. He called on Nigerians to gather resources for Igboho legal counsel.

”The reported arrest of Sunday Igboho in Cotonou is unfortunate. He is a hero freedom fighter who defended us. We must now repay his good turn and also defend him and gather resources for his legal defence.

Igboho deserves the same commitment from us, that Buhari has shown and continues to show to killer herdsmen and bandits. Buhari has refused to categorise his kinsmen, who shot down a multimillion dollar Nigerian Airforce jet yesterday, as terrorists (they lied that they jet crashed, but the pilot survived and blew open their lies).

Yet, he has criminalised one of the few Nigerians brave enough to stand up to killer herdsmen. And that is why I stand with Igboho. Not for secession. But for defending his people.”
